Overview
Merrick's Grain Free Bone Broth is a chicken-flavored liquid topper for dogs and cats, sold here in a 16 ounce pouch. It is meant to be poured over regular food rather than served as a stand-alone meal.
The broth is made without grain, pea, potato, gluten, wheat or soy, and Merrick lists it as human-grade. Its main job is adding moisture and scent to a bowl of kibble or canned food, which can help with pets that are reluctant eaters or need more fluid in their diet.
- 16 oz pouch, chicken flavor
- Grain-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free
- Human-grade broth topper
- Suitable for dogs and cats
Who it's for
Fits owners looking to boost palatability or hydration for a dog or cat that eats normal food but needs encouragement, or pets on a bland diet during recovery. Not a substitute for a complete pet food on its own.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Grain-free and free of common allergens like wheat and soy
- Works for both dogs and cats
- 16 ounce size lasts through repeated servings
- A topper only, not formulated as a complete diet
- Liquid form needs refrigeration once opened
Performance notes
Being a broth rather than a solid topper, it pours straight over dry or wet food and mixes in without heating. The 16 ounce size covers more servings than the smaller 7 ounce pouch Merrick also sells.
